Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Then Xu Zhong once again looked at Zhang Jingdong with new eyes.

Previously, he wanted to groom Zhang Jingdong as his own front man, after all, he himself had the background, and Zhang Jingdong was very good at making money, but sorely lacked a background.

But now with Ye Jinyan’s stance, Xu Zhong felt that making Zhang Jingdong his front man was no longer realistic, at least he had to be a partner.

The biggest difference between the two lies in the profit share. For the former, he would only give Zhang Jingdong twenty percent, but now it would have to be at least sixty-four.

Most importantly, he couldn’t forcibly make Zhang Jingdong work for him anymore.

This also meant that he could only let Zhang Jingdong do legal business, and as for those that were a bit shady, he definitely couldn’t let Zhang Jingdong do them, because once Zhang Jingdong was associated with the Ye family, he would certainly cherish his reputation.

With that thought, Xu Zhong promptly said, ”Alright, no problem, I’ll definitely call you then, and I believe Jingdong will give you a big surprise at that time!”

Ye Jinyan glanced at Zhang Jingdong and said happily, ”Looking forward to it.”

The two chatted with Xu Zhong for a good while and then walked away.

Just then, He Jieyu came over, ”Mr. Ye, our Mr. Yan asked me to see if you are done, because Mr. Yan wants to introduce some Jiangdu business friends to Mr. Zhang as well.”

Ye Jinyan pursed her lips, ”Alright, Boss Zhang, you go ahead, and don’t forget our promise, okay?”

Zhang Jingdong nodded, ”Rest assured, I don’t make promises easily, but once I do make a promise, I will definitely keep it.”

After speaking, he shook Ye Jinyan’s delicate hand and then turned to walk away with He Jieyu.

At this moment, He Jieyu said indignantly, ”Did you really make a promise to her?”

Zhang Jingdong might not be able to completely grasp the situation with the two queens, Ye Jinyan and Yan Ning, but he could still control He Jieyu easily.

Casually, he said, ”He Jieyu, I seem to have made you quite a few promises as well, right?”

”What, haven’t you forgotten? Alright then, let’s just pretend we...”

He Jieyu quickly said, ”I haven’t forgotten! How could I forget! Boss Zhang has been so good to me, I will never forget it!”

”Boss Zhang, don’t be mad, I didn’t mean to complain at all.”

Seeing that she was still sensible, Zhang Jingdong said, ”Smart move, later on with Mr. Yan, you better help me out, otherwise, how could I go to Europe to find you if I’m in chaos here!”

He Jieyu had no choice but to say, ”Alright, alright... I’ll do my best, is that okay?”

Zhang Jingdong then smiled satisfactorily.

Not long after, the two returned to Yan Ning’s side.

To Zhang Jingdong’s surprise, Yan Ning not only didn’t scold him or give him an eye roll but sweetly linked her arm through his.

Said coyly, ”You’re back, thanks for your hard work!”

Zhang Jingdong’s heart tightened instantly.

What... what’s the situation here?

But he quickly thought of something: could it be because she saw Ye Jinyan being gentle with me just now, so she changed tactics and wants to try a softer approach on me too?

It must be!

So he proactively said, ”Just now, Mr. Ye introduced me to a few investors. We’re running an investment company together, and there are a few projects, and they are quite interested in my branch projects, so we talked a bit longer.”

The smile on Yan Ning’s face instantly became more natural, ”Hmm, shall I take you to meet a few friends now?”

Zhang Jingdong was utterly relieved this time, nodding happily, ”Sure!”

Then Zhang Jingdong followed Yan Ning around for another round.

Compared to the people Ye Jinyan introduced, all from investment firms, the people Yan Ning introduced to Zhang Jingdong were all local business owners from Jiangdu, and their companies’ businesses were quite relevant to Zhang Jingdong’s main business.

Moreover, when Yan Ning introduced them, she would start with Zhang Jingdong’s identity and end by saying that she was already with Zhang Jingdong, quickly causing a stir among the crowd.

Although rumors were circulating that Yan Ning, the top beauty boss of Jiangdu’s business world, was already spoken for, most of them didn’t believe it, as they hadn’t seen any solid proof.

But now they could never have imagined Yan Ning would actually bring her boyfriend to such an important banquet.

Most crucially, her boyfriend was so young and turned out to be the boss of The One Bar, which has always been competing head-to-head with local tycoons.

Just when everyone was buzzing about, a few people suddenly walked into the banquet hall, and the previously noisy crowd fell silent instantly.

Zhang Jingdong glanced sideways and saw it was a handsome middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

But he was very good-looking, just like Director Qi.

Moreover, at this moment, Wang Tao actually approached him, wearing a respectful look.

Zhang Jingdong instantly realized something, and it stirred his heart: Tsk tsk, the esteemed richest man in Jiangdu really has a commanding presence!

Not to mention, the respect his presence commanded was enormous—the moment he walked in, he became the absolute focus of the entire banquet hall.

People of all sorts actively stepped forward to greet him, even Xu Zhong and Ye Jinyan were filled with respectful smiles when facing him.

Wang Ruocheng nodded symbolically at everyone as a response, then exchanged a few words with Ye Jinyan and Xu Zhong.

And then, Wang Ruocheng suddenly turned to Wang Tao and said something, then under everyone’s watchful eyes, this richest man in Jiangdu walked straight over to Zhang Jingdong.

At this moment, the huge banquet hall fell completely silent.

While everyone was previously envious of Zhang Jingdong being personally introduced by the two top beauties, Ye Jinyan and Yan Ning, many among them actually looked down on Zhang Jingdong, thinking he was just living off women.

But now, that thought instantly vanished from their minds.

It’s ridiculous—even for a joke—the prestigious richest man in Jiangdu wouldn’t personally greet a gigolo.

And, in this instant, all the women in the room were filled with envy toward Yan Ning and Ye Jinyan.

Ye Jinyan and Yan Ning were initially a little surprised, but it quickly turned into a joyous pride.
